Notes
  • Significance: One of the oldest in the State of Maryland, the Caroline County Jail and Sheriff's House has been in continuous use as a jail since 1907 when it was built during a period of marked cultural, commercial and economic expansion of the town of Denton. Occupying a prominence overlooking the Choptank River, Caroline County's impressive Colonial Revival Sheriff's House faces the Court House green and is surrounded by substantial residences built during the first decade of the Twentieth Century. The Sheriff's House and Jail was an elegant answer by a beleaguered county government to years of local and statewide criticism regarding the inadequacies of the preceding prison facility.
